“Ooh the scary cartel is so well armed they could take on armies of other countries”

I bet a handful of well armed us soldiers could easily wipe out a single cartel in a week.

I agree, hollywood started overly romanticizing and dramatizing the cartels over the last couple decades.

Easily. I strongly believe Trump should tell Sheinbox her tour is over and that he’s sending in special forces to dismantle the cartels. Pull a Venezuela, overwhelm them with force in the middle of the night and bomb the shit outta whatever’s left. We clearly know exactly where the cartel leaders are hiding since the United States provided the intel to take out El Mencho. Let’s stop fucking around and finish the job ourselves.

I guess there are legal and diplomatic reasons to avoid striking inside our neighboring country, but it’s a double edged sword. The cartels are a far bigger risk to national security than Iran is. They kill over 100k Americans every year with their drugs. How many Americans are killed by Iran?

Trump should announce in his SOTU speech tonight that he’s launching a military campaign in Mexico. It would be the most popular foreign policy move he’s made so far (ded fkin srs).

ur wrong , op

i just heard the recent El Mucho killing took 5 hours to do

but they could scoop up a dictator within halftime.

also no one gave a chit about the Madara

they're wrecking havoc for the cartel boss's death

I saw a documentary where some old fat farmers stood up to the cartel in there little village and all they had was shitty old skss imagine what a few highly trained men with real gear could do

Cartels have a massive supply of extremely poor people to recruit from. Same as gangs in the US.

All of their power comes from fear and desperation. Of course the US Military would take them out in 3 days.

Defeat vs total occupation are two different things

The US could defeat Iraq or Taliban in a few weeks but the occupation drags out for years

The cartel if they wipe them out then what as soon as they leave there's a power vacuum and all the coach roaches come out

These people don't want to work real jobs they want cartel money it's too ingrained

Los Betas

Mostly Mexicans who feel pride in their Mexican cartel groups and want to talk them up in America to look badass.

Stop thinking of the cartels as drug cartels and start thinking of them as militias. No different than armed militia groups in other war-torn countries experiencing civil war. They have weapons and trained Soldiers.

The Mexican government seems to enjoy the status quo with differing armed groups fighting amongst each other for the drug and human trafficking trade.

Hows the being gay going for you?

Just street punks that think getting tatts makes them hard asses. Just like all gangsters, they are good at ganging up and intimidating innocent people but chicken shit everywhere else.
